2020 Ford Kuga ST-Line First ED E-Blue 1.5L Diesel · YR70 YKS

The vehicle currently holds a significant gap in its regulatory compliance, as the last recorded MOT test occurred on 20 September 2023 at 67,000 miles. With no test conducted in the intervening twenty-one months, the car lacks a valid certificate for road use as of June 2026. The technical data from that final assessment indicates a vehicle requiring immediate attention to its consumable components, as the tester identified thin brake pads on both the front and rear axles alongside uneven tyre wear. These findings suggest a pattern of deferred maintenance where basic wear items were left to reach their service limits without proactive replacement. The recorded mileage of 67,000 miles over a six-year period aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this class, averaging approximately 11,167 miles per annum. This consistent accumulation suggests the car has likely seen regular road use rather than long-term storage, which generally benefits mechanical longevity. However, the absence of MOT data for nearly two years creates a substantial uncertainty regarding the current condition of the drivetrain and suspension, as the vehicle has effectively been off the official record for a significant portion of its life. Prospective buyers must prioritise a comprehensive inspection of the braking system, specifically verifying if the pads and discs were replaced following the 2023 advisories. The uneven wear noted on the front tyres indicates a potential misalignment or suspension geometry issue that requires professional assessment to prevent premature tyre failure. Given the age of the vehicle and the lack of recent testing, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and underbody structural integrity is essential to ensure no corrosion or degradation has developed while the vehicle remained outside the formal testing cycle.
